ABSTRACT

This study describes and examine the condition of local history education in the Philippine curriculum and in teaching and learning process. This study uses a descriptive method which aims to describe how the curriculum developed consciousness on the learners through local history, the approaches used by teachers, and the interests of the learners in local history. The participants of this study are the chosen Grade 2 and 3 elementary teachers, Grade 7 and 8 high school teachers, and learners. Findings revealed that there’s no specific or standard content of local history education in the curriculum. Instead, teachers teach local history through contextualization and integration with the usage of traditional and non-traditional learning materials. Learners are interested to learn the local history of their local area to develop holistically and discover more about the place. Challenges such as lack of resources and ineffective learning approached and methods were identified in the teaching and learning process of local history education. With this study, the researchers were able to describe and identify the current condition of local history education.
